Wazzup Pilipinas!
You must have heard of IOT recently. Everyone from students to industrialists are talking about it these days. What is all the fuss for? What is IOT?
IOT stands for internet of things. Just like how computers communicate with each other through the internet, IOT aims to let things communicate with each other.
A thing in this case means any electronic device. This ranges from switches to cars to household appliances. The applications of such an interconnected network of things are endless.
It is easy to understand IOT on a technical level. Now a device you find lying cannot simply start communicating with a network. It is like teaching a baby to talk. To do this you program and connect a microcontroller to the device.
A microcontroller is a small computer that can gather information using sensors and connect to the internet through WIFI or some other means.
Once connected, the microcontroller can sense and measure any affecting factor in its surroundings or within the device itself. This is then gathered and sent to another computer through the internet that analyses this data. What happens next depends entirely on your application. This is where you can get creative.
Here are a few examples to get you started with IOT:
Say you travel a lot. If your watch is IOT enabled, it can connect to the internet by itself and set the timezone by itself without you even taking a second look.
Your home air conditioning system can use the weather forecast to control the temperature by itself or switch on or off as you leave the house.

I love studying the Internet of Things, I even once wanted to go to university for such a specialty, but my dream did not come true. I also tried to work on my own smart alarm clock project.
ReplyDeleteI think the smart alarm clock already exists, but nevertheless curious what features you would add to it. I like this new era of the Internet of Things, too. For example, recently I learned about a new thing like Automated Beverage Dispensing Systems, check out this official website. I was so interested in the principle of this device that I immediately bought it to check it out. It's a hands-free system that allows you to pour up to 4 drinks at one moment. It saves me so much time. That's what it means, laziness is the mother of progress.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to Internet, there are lots of things to be found there. This is where I found the guys from UBrothers Construction. They started their home remodeling career in 2007 and gained enough experience to launch their own company. They have completed over 1000 successful modern windows and roofing https://ubrothersconstruction.com/catalog/roofing projects, using the newest technologies when working with their customers.
